Premise: Aquaman is looking for some Whales. He has arrived at a location he got a tip-off about and is now at some docks. WARNING! Some sentences may translate poorly or incorrectly. Deal with it!

1-- Aquaman is standing at the edge of some fog-laden docks, talking to a heavily bearded man in full fishing regalia. He is gesturing towards the ocean wildly.
SPEECH BUBBLE/AQUAMAN - WHALES! DO.... YOU HAVE... WHALES?!
SPEECH BUBBLE/FISHERMAN - 'ch re yn sefyll ynddi, boyo!
2-- Aquaman is now looming over the man, yelling louder, in the vain hope that this crosses the language barrier.
SPEECH BUBBLE/AQUAMAN - BIG SPURTY THINGS! SING BEAUTIFUL SONGS! WHALES!
SPEECH BUBBLE/FISHERMAN - dawelu i lawr, boyo!
3-- Aquaman is now 'facepalming', shoulders slumped slightly in failure. The Fisherman is now walking away.
SPEECH BUBBLE/FISHERMAN - idiot bysgota ddyn
SPEECH BUBBLE/AQUAMAN - *sigh*... Never mind...
4-- Aquaman is now swimming past the Severn Bridge some time later, having given up and deciding to leave. There is a prominent sign at the end of the bridge that says "Welcome to Wales", with "Croeso i Cymru" just below it on the sign. Ah, Bilingualism!
SPEECH BUBBLE/AQUAMAN - I can't believe the tip-off I got was wrong...
TEXT BOX - FIN!*
TEXT BOX/EDITOR - AHA! ANOTHER PUN!
haha Made me smile :-) Nice work!
ReplyDeletePoor Aquaman - and he came all that way!
ReplyDeleteThis made my day. Bad puns, my favourite! I might even attempt to illustrate this one, if you're cool with that, Max.
ReplyDeletefeel free to do so! I'm not one to deny people an attempt to make my stuff even more awesome!
ReplyDeleteClassic Max. Good stuff man, keep'em coming!
ReplyDeleteAh, Max, and this is exactly what i love from you. This is your wheelhouse and don't even change that. Wales, such a simple idea and yet you get it, and you milk it, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteHaven't bothered to translate the Welsh, it's almost funnier if I don't know.
I implore you not to translate the first line. I think I may have accidentally just written "You are dog in it" or something
ReplyDeleteMy Dad's a Welshman, so you've probably taken my place as his favorite thoughtballooner with this script!
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff, man. Loved it.
Dammit Max, you beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteSelfishness aside, great fun script. Well done.
